The first project consists of constructing a self serve compost site, and <br />is eligible to receive $6,756.25 in reimbursements. The site will be located between <br />Public Works and Oak Knoll Park. This facility will also be designed to receive wood <br />waste drop-off and wood chip pick-up for future residential service. <br /> <br />The second project consists of building refuse and recycling corrals at Orono Park. This <br />proposal was awarded $1,526.25 in SCORE funds. The corrals will house the refuse & <br />recycling carts purchased last year for the Park Recycling Program. In addition, post <br />consumer plastic timbers will be used to construct the corral enclosures. <br /> <br />Sprinl! Clean UP Day <br />The 1998 Spring Clean Up Day has once again proved to be a successful event. A total of <br />426 residents were served the event. A SCORE reimbursement in the amount of $5,000 <br />has been designated for clean up day. This amount is based upon population. Additional <br />information relating to the tonnage collected and total expenses will be computed once <br />final figures are received. <br /> <br />Code Enforcement Update <br />Attached for your review, is a copy of the current complaint log. This year 42 complaint <br />cases have been registered. Of these cases, 16 have been resolved and 26 remain on- <br />going. Below is a breakdown of the issues surrounding each of the cases. However, it is <br />difficult to categorize a nuisance case into a broad category since a single case often <br />involves multiple code violations. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway. P.O. Box 490.
